Books on walking are sprouting like (books about) mushrooms.

This weekend, I magically appeared in one of my favorite Spanish newsletters, Gárgola Digital, and shared 10 links from my secret vault of links: https://gargoladigital.substack.com/p/mi-amigo-javier-arce

Why did they call it "Riyadh Comedy Festival" when "Comedians in Saudi Arabia Whitewashing Human Rights Violations" was right there?

Time to export my videos and delete the account. https://techcrunch.com/2025/09/10/vimeo-to-be-acquired-by-bending-spoons-in-1-38b-all-cash-deal/

I don’t understand what’s going on at Quora or what their business model is these days, but it seems to me that they’ve just launched an AI bot that asks questions nobody cares about or is interested in. I don’t know, it feels dumb. https://productupdates.quora.com/New-Introducing-AI-Interviewer

I finally got around to playing with @javierarce's Enfant Terrible (https://enfont.javierarce.com) which I saw them demo at last month's Show Us Your Screens. So I downloaded and installed some "terrible" fonts; an hour later I happened across a link to […] [Original post on social.wake.st]

I don’t know how this happened, but my blog contains 300 (and 1) posts now. Here’s the latest one, where I talk about my analog misfortunes and share some photos: https://javier.computer/2025/08/25/maldiciones-analogicas #photography #filmphotography

Lucky for me, I skewed all I needed to skew and won't need to skew any more this month.

Hey, fedi denizens, what are your favorite blogs and newsletters written in German?

No wonder they believe ChatGPT is super smart.

Dear person who used the hyper-common and bland ChatGPT drawings to illustrate your post/podcast/vlog/announcement: thank you for letting me know you don't care about what you published, so I can spend my time on things that were made with attention and effort.

Sometimes I look at my website and hate it, sometimes I look at it and like it. Right now: I like it.

I'm reading Sidney Lumet's memoir (it's great), and boy did he despise the teamsters.

I bought the super cute Minol birdie at a Flohmarkt this weekend. I bet people were very angry when it was redesigned in the '80s and flooded the newspapers with complaints.

Here's some photos I took of my favorite flea market in Berlin: https://javier.computer/2025/07/21/berliner-trodelmarkt #photography #streetphotography

My new job is ridden with acronyms and technical jargon, so I built a Raycast extension to create custom glossaries. It supports Markdown, lets you import and export definitions in CSV format, and customize how entries are copied to your clipboard or pasted […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

I continue to be mesmerized by Jake Dow-Smith's websites. They’re the perfect combination of visual design and interaction. Here's his latest: https://apossible.com

If nothing else, this continuous avalanche of meetings at my new job will surely improve my drawing skills.

I can’t talk about the trial because they filled the product designer role before I could start. But Mastodon’s communication at every step of the hiring was excellent, much better than most bigger companies.

Very ambitious but lexicologically interesting triple-feature night: - The Killing of a Chinese Bookie - The Killing of a Sacred Deer - The Seed of the Sacred Fig

If you want to submit an extension to Raycast, you have to download a repo that’s nearly 18GB. A perfectly sensible and reasonable way to do things.

Next time, though, I'll worry again.

Last week, I attended a talk in Berlin by Nikita Teryoshin about his fascinating new photo book, Nothing Personal: The Back Office of War, in which he documents arms fairs around the world. There's a great interview online where he explains his project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYlG3eyM0jg

New post on my blog featuring some of my favorite film photos from recent shoots. https://javier.computer/monte-analogo I’m also experimenting with bilingual posts (Spanish + English) because I felt the need to make things more complicated for myself! #photography #filmphotography

I'm considering including an English translation alongside the original Spanish text in some of my posts. Are there good examples of that out there?

Here's something special I've been working on lately: an experimental, collaborative publication that lives in your calendar. It's called PoetiCal and submissions are open to everyone. https://poetical.day

First time on the HN front page. Time to close the laptop and hide under the bed.

Neat little detail in @feedbin: when you add a new feed it shows you the publication frequency using a sparkline. (yes, I should post more)

HN never disappoints: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43143252

No me puedo creer que vaya a publicar en mi newsletter por segunda vez este año, pero así están las cosas: https://javier.computer/newsletter

It always feels a bit magical when a random bot discovers your 2023 computational poetry event website and submits a proposal.
